How to get your husband to cook
Jamie Oliver’s not-so-subtle advice to women
By Culinate staff
May 28, 2008
Jamie Oliver has gotten some attention this week for advising heterosexual women to withhold sex unless their partners learn to cook:
“Men are driven by sex,” the celebrity chef said this weekend at the annual Hay-on-Wye festival. “So the best way for women to get their men into the kitchen would be to stop having sex with them until they start to cook.”
A new twist on the old adage of “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach,” perhaps? But what interested us even more was his suggestion that the British government introduce a separate ministry of food. Sound familiar?
